Testscope started as a small piece of software I built to help my teammates test what we were building—simple enough for anyone, even non-QA members, to use.

After four years, it went unmaintained, and I decided to fully abandon it due to the high running costs and the expense of the *.io domain. I assumed no one was still using it until the day it actually went offline, when people began reaching out. Unfortunately, the last database backup was from September 2024, and the VM was destroyed along with all the data.

I have since decided to open-source the code so anyone can self-host and manage it without relying on my service. I also plan to revive the service on a cheaper domain with a fair, sustainable subscription plan, so those without the capability to self-host can continue to use it.

This is my apology to those disappointed by the shutdown.

The code is a lot messy by my current standards, as I originally built it quickly solely to help my teammates. I am open to any suggestions and contributions. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].

This repository is the backend side of Testscope. The other related repositories are:

• content_creation_limiter and set it to FALSE as default.

1. Copy the env.example file to .env and adjust accordingly.
2. Adjust the GROWTHBOOK_API_URL value in the .env file
3. Adjust the FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID value in the .env file
4. Put your Firebase service account JSON file at ./firebase.json.

• make prep - Spin up the infrastructure for local development.

This will also spawn a local proxy with SSL at https://localhost:4443.

• make run - Run the instance.
